Crispy Kovaika / Ivy gourd fry

Hi friends, hope everyone had a great Father’s day celebration. I come today with a Crispy Kovaika / Ivy gourd fry.This recipe is so simple that only time it takes is to cut the veggies.
Kovaika / Ivy gourd is a humble vegetable. I am not sure how many know the health benefits of this vegetable. This is rich in Beta – carotene.Ivy gourds are sometimes recommended for diabetic patients. I haven’t used this vegetable while I was in India. But after coming to US, I saw a large number of Indians buy this while visiting Indian stores. So thought of giving a try.
Once I made a stir fry. Even though it was good but not surely a hit. But considering the health benefits of Ivy gourd I consider to try again in different way. This time I made it a crispy fry more similar to my Okra fry . This time it was a super hit. I tell this because my little son was eating it in side by side as I was making. When I turn to see the quantity getting less as I was making , it was my little one eating it quietly from the plate. At that time I made sure that it is a keeper. But next time to make it more healthier , I will try it cooking it in Oven.

Kovaika / Ivy gourd fry

This Crispy Kovaika / Ivy gourd fry requires only few ingredients. The only time consuming part is cutting the vegetable. Once it is done then everything can be done fast. The spices, you can adjust as per your needs. This Crispy Kovaika / Ivy gourd fry goes well with Sambar rice or Rasam rice or Curd rice. Or you can eat it as a snack as my son do…lol.

I love this veggie. Though I dont deep fry this, which by the way is far more delicious just like yours, I make a stir fry or a Rice dish in Maharashtrian style using goda masala which is equally delicious. I bet this is highly addictive, and imagine why your kiddo couldnt stop munching while you were frying these. haha.

Haha..true…as icing on the cake after finish eating he was asking ‘is that finish, how?’. Just imagine how long I took to slit those vegetable and he finished munching and shooting this question to me😆😉..but as a mom I’m happy my kiddo loved it…I will try your way too one day… Thank you dear 😊

Have some drink
